Adaptive Optimal Output Regulation of Interconnected Singularly Perturbed Systems With Application to Power Systems

This article studies the adaptive optimal output regulation problem for a class of interconnected singularly perturbed systems(SPSs) with unknown dynamics based on reinforcement learning(RL).Taking into account the slow and fast characteristics among system states,the interconnected SPS is decomposed into the slow time-scale dynamics and the fast timescale dynamics through singular perturbation theory.For the fast time-scale dynamics with interconnections,we devise a decentralized optimal control strategy by selecting appropriate weight matrices in the cost function.For the slow time-scale dynamics with unknown system parameters,an off-policy RL algorithm with convergence guarantee is given to learn the optimal control strategy in terms of measurement data.By combining the slow and fast controllers,we establish the composite decentralized adaptive optimal output regulator,and rigorously analyze the stability and optimality of the closed-loop system.The proposed decomposition design not only bypasses the numerical stiffness but also alleviates the high-dimensionality.The efficacy of the proposed methodology is validated by a load-frequency control application of a two-area power system.

State feedback design for singularly perturbed system using unified approach

The state feedback design for singularly perturbed systems described in Delta operator is considered. The composite state feedback controller for slow and fast subsystems is designed by using the direct method. The obtained results can bring previous conclusions of continuous and discrete time systems into the unified Delta framework. A simulation example is presented to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the design.

On the model-based networked control for singularly perturbed systems

In this paper, the control of a two-time-scale plant, where the sensor is connected to a linear controller/ actuator via a network is addressed. The slow and fast systems of singularly perturbed systems are used to produce an estimate of the plant state behavior between transmission times, by which one can reduce the usage of the network. The approximate solutions of the whole systems are derived and it is shown that the whole systems via the network control are generally asymptotically stable as long as their slow and fast systems are both stable. These results are also extended to the case of network delay.

Output regulation of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems based on T-S fuzzy model

Based on the T-S model, the output regulation of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems via state feedback is discussed. It is shown that, under standard assumptions, this problean is solvable if and only if certain linear matrix equations are solvable. Once these equations are solvable, the state feedback regulator can easily be constructed.

Sliding Mode Control for Singularly Perturbed Systems Using Accurate Reduced Model

In order to deal with unmodeled dynamics in large vehicle systems, which have an ill condition of the state matrix, the use of model order reduction methods is a good approach. This article presents a new construction of the sliding mode controller for singularly perturbed systems. The controller design is based on a linear diagonal transformation of the singularly perturbed model. Furthermore, the use of a single sliding mode controller designed for the slow component of the diagonalized system is investigated. Simulation results indicate the performance improvement of the proposed controllers.

Wavelet Multi-Resolution Interpolation Galerkin Method for Linear Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems

In this study,a wavelet multi-resolution interpolation Galerkin method(WMIGM)is proposed to solve linear singularly perturbed boundary value problems.Unlike conventional wavelet schemes,the proposed algorithm can be readily extended to special node generation techniques,such as the Shishkin node.Such a wavelet method allows a high degree of local refinement of the nodal distribution to efficiently capture localized steep gradients.All the shape functions possess the Kronecker delta property,making the imposition of boundary conditions as easy as that in the finite element method.Four numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposedwavelet method.The results showthat the use ofmodified Shishkin nodes can significantly reduce numerical oscillation near the boundary layer.Compared with many other methods,the proposed method possesses satisfactory accuracy and efficiency.The theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that the order of theε-uniform convergence of this wavelet method can reach 5.

Adaptive Fault Tolerant Control of Multi-time-scale Singularly Perturbed Systems

This paper studies the fault tolerant control, adaptive approach, for linear time-invariant two-time-scale and three-time-scale singularly perturbed systems in presence of actuator faults and external disturbances. First, the full order system will be controlled using v-dependent control law. The corresponding Lyapunov equation is ill-conditioned due to the presence of slow and fast phenomena. Secondly, a time-scale decomposition of the Lyapunov equation is carried out using singular perturbation method to avoid the numerical stiffness. A composite control law based on local controllers of the slow and fast subsystems is also used to make the control law ε-independent. The designed fault tolerant control guarantees the robust stability of the global closed-loop singularly perturbed system despite loss of effectiveness of actuators. The stability is proved based on the Lyapunov stability theory in the case where the singular perturbation parameter is sufficiently small. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed method.

Composite Control of Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Systems via Approximate Feedback Linearization

This article is devoted to the problem of composite control design for continuous nonlinear singularly perturbed(SP)system using approximate feedback linearization(AFL)method.The essence of AFL method lies in the feedback linearization only of a certain part of the original nonlinear system.According to AFL approach,we suggest to solve feedback linearization problems for continuous nonlinear SP system by reducing it to two feedback linearization problems for slow and fast subsystems separately.The resulting AFL control is constructed in the form of asymptotic composition(composite control).Standard procedure for the composite control design consists of the following steps:1)system decomposition,2)solution of control problem for fast subsystem,3)solution of control problem for slow subsystem,4)construction of the resulting control in the form of the composition of slow and fast controls.The main difficulty during system decomposition is associated with dynamics separation condition for nonlinear SP system.To overcome this,we propose to change the sequence of the design procedure:1)solving the control problem for fast state variables part,2)system decomposition,3)solving the control problem for slow state variables part,4)construction of the resulting composite control.By this way,fast feedback linearizing control is chosen so that the dynamics separation condition would be met and the fast subsystem would be stabilizable.The application of the proposed approach is illustrated through several examples.

Optimal deterministic disturbances rejection for singularly perturbed linear systems

Optimal deterministic disturbances rejection control problem for singularly perturbed linear systems is considered. By using the slow-fast decomposition theory of singular perturbation, the existent and unique conditions of the feedforward and feedback composite control （FFCC） laws for both infinite-time and finite-time are proposed, and the design approaches are given. A disturbance observer is introduced to make the FFCC laws realizable physically. Simulation results indicate that the FFCC laws are robust with respect to external disturbances.

A Dimension-Splitting Variational Multiscale Element-Free Galerkin Method for Three-Dimensional Singularly Perturbed Convection-Diffusion Problems

By introducing the dimensional splitting(DS)method into the multiscale interpolating element-free Galerkin(VMIEFG)method,a dimension-splitting multiscale interpolating element-free Galerkin(DS-VMIEFG)method is proposed for three-dimensional(3D)singular perturbed convection-diffusion(SPCD)problems.In the DSVMIEFG method,the 3D problem is decomposed into a series of 2D problems by the DS method,and the discrete equations on the 2D splitting surface are obtained by the VMIEFG method.The improved interpolation-type moving least squares(IIMLS)method is used to construct shape functions in the weak form and to combine 2D discrete equations into a global system of discrete equations for the three-dimensional SPCD problems.The solved numerical example verifies the effectiveness of the method in this paper for the 3D SPCD problems.The numerical solution will gradually converge to the analytical solution with the increase in the number of nodes.For extremely small singular diffusion coefficients,the numerical solution will avoid numerical oscillation and has high computational stability.

The purpose of this work is to implement a discontinuous Galerkin(DG)method with a one-sided flux for a singularly perturbed Volterra integro-differential equation(VIDE)with a smooth kernel.First,the regularity property and a decomposition of the exact solution of the singularly perturbed VIDE with the initial condition are provided.Then the existence and uniqueness of the DG solution are proven.Then some appropriate projection-type interpolation operators and their corresponding approximation properties are established.Based on the decomposition of the exact solution and the approximation properties of the projection type interpolants,the DG method achieves the uniform convergence in the L2 norm with respect to the singular perturbation parameter e when the space of polynomials with degree p is used.A numerical experiment validates the theoretical results.Furthermore,an ultra-convergence order 2p+1 at the nodes for the one-sided flux,uniform with respect to the singular perturbation parameter e,is observed numerically.
